The Conros castle
The castle and the park
Conros is planted since the Early middle ages on its rocky outcrop, which dominates the splendid and wild meander of Cère. The impressive medieval keep, flanked of a two round towers and main building, was transformed during the Rebirth into a majestic residence. The beauty and the purity of its architecture make of it a harmonious unit, emphasized by a beautiful romantic park, sublimated by hudred-year-old trees and odoriferous flowers. Conros shelters the exposure “Ode to the Perfumes” and the museum “Arts and traditions”.
.
Robert d' Humières, born with Conros, grandfather of the current owners, translated works of Rudyard Kipling of wich the famous Livre of the Jungle.
